First things first: Carbonite has one map and it is either maximized (large, like Blizzards World Map) or minimized (minimap sized but NOT the minimap). Blizzard gives us three maps: The Minimap (found in the upper right corner of your screen), the World Map (the big map) and the Zone (sometimes referred to as the Battleground) Map. A technicality, to be sure, but it occasionally helps to use the correct terms when explaining something.
For your first problem: On the Carbonite map, look at the top right corner of the frame and you should see two small boxes. If the left most of the two has a check mark in it, click it to uncheck it. If you hover the box, I believe the tool tip will say "Auto scale". That should stop the map from zooming out to show both your position and the go to point on the map.
For your second problem, look at the Quest Watch window header (the top part where the colored buttons are). Make sure the green button (first one on the left) is
bright green. If it isn't, just click on it to change it. Here's an explanation for those buttons:
Quest Watch List
The watch window is draggable but not sizeable. It grows and shrinks as needed based on the quests you are currently watching. The Watch window can be made into a sizeable scrolling list if "Use fixed size list" is checked in the Quest Watch page of the Options window.
The green button toggles if all watched quests will be shown on the map and is on by default.
The purple "Auto Track" button will target the highest priority quest objective and updates dynamically as you move. Priority is based on distance, quest level and if the quest is complete.
The yellow/blue "Quest Givers" button shows Quest Giver icons on the map. Normal ones are shown as parchment icons. Daily quest givers as blue ! icons.
Button colors:
Dark yellow = No givers
Yellow = Quest givers and daily givers
Blue = Daily givers
The white "Show Party Quests" button determines if quests from other party members with Carbonite will also be shown in the Watch List.

This is a direct "copy-n-paste" from the "CarboniteReadMe" file that is included in every installation of Carbonite and can be found in your main Carbonite folder at "
Path to your WoW folder\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite\CarboniteReadMe.txt".
I highly suggest that every Carbonite user read that file. It contains a lot of information about what Carbonite does, and how to set it up.
